It Takes Two

Honestly one of the best games I've played with character development and story line to the character arcs. Everything at the start of the game became a pain in the ass but slowly got used to the effort and put the time in. By the end of the game we really didn't want it to end and just enjoyed everything about it, each level was something absolutely new and different and we just couldn't believe the amount of detail and music involved in creating such a different environments from fighting a vacuum box to jumping between time / space to then having to create a beat with a DJ mixer board. Even with the cut scenes, it's almost if you add them all up as one big video, it could come off as a awesome movie. Very impressed, we were sad it had ended

🧸It Takes Two 10/10 Is a perfect game for couples. The dialogues were a bit weak but the rest of the game is a work of art. Girls, try to play it with someone patient, understanding and who will let you win the mini-games.

I just finished this game with my friend, and all I can say is: wow. What an amazing experience! I’m already planning to replay it with my girlfriend it’s truly the kind of game made for couples or close friends. No matter who you choose to play it with, you're in for a great time. What stood out most to me was how every task felt like a surprise. Each level introduces new mechanics that are creative and fun, keeping the game play fresh from start to finish. The story is 1000% worth experiencing, and it’s something I’ll definitely revisit. The game is super relaxing while still being engaging. The mechanics aren’t too difficult, which makes it perfect for casual players, but there’s still enough variety to keep it interesting. The music and environments in each stage are beautiful and immersive, adding to the overall charm. And let’s not forget the mini-games! They’re a fun little bonus that add even more flavor to the experience. It’s rare to find a game that balances storytelling, gameplay, and co-op interaction so well. Without a doubt, this is one of the best co-op games I’ve ever played. If you're looking for a meaningful, fun, and heartwarming game to enjoy with someone, I highly recommend this one!

This game is food for the soul. It takes you on a wholesome journey filled with different adventures and minigames that will make you shriek and laugh. It's funny and witty and full of love. Can't wait to replay it!

The best 2-Player Game I have ever played. Masterpiece! Get one of your friends (or bf or gf) and play to the end! Looking forward to finishing it!

Fun and easy to play with friends. The story line and characters are hilarious and brings out the little kid in you. Loved it.

Each chapter feels like a different game...and each fail of your friend feels like a pain in the a*s!

[h1] It Takes Two [/h1] [u]Playtime:[/u] Around 15 hours – though that’s debatable. You can take your time, pause, explore the surroundings, and have tons of fun with your partner. If you have someone close – a friend, partner, or sibling – and you’re not afraid to argue a little while jumping around and solving puzzles, or better yet, if you want to strengthen your bond, this game is made for you. It’s not just an emotionless game – it’s a strong, shared experience. You play it for the laughs, the chaos, and just to enjoy the ride together. There's a deeper message in the story too, and even though that annoying Spanish book will be bothering you the whole time, by the end you’ll admit: the guy had a point. One of the biggest pros of the game is that you never get bored. The locations, the missions you do together – everything is constantly changing, fresh, imaginative, and never repetitive. The co-op gameplay is the core of the experience, and it’s beautifully done. Add in the lovely visuals and the emotional story, and you’ve got something truly special. Honestly, I can’t think of any real negatives... unless you count the game exposing who has a worse sense of direction or who panics more under pressure – in our case, it’s 50/50, which means we’re a perfect match. To sum it all up – this is a game for two that might just save (or completely wreck, lol) your relationship. Either way, it’s a unique experience that everyone should try if they believe that together, anything is possible. [h3]10/10[/h3] – Because I found someone who still believes in me, even after I accidentally knocked them off the platform 20 times :)❤️

Level design, art and gameplay (to some extent) are very good in this game. Gameplay is fun to some extent because you are given abilities, then lose them, then get other ones and so on and so forth. Unfortunately, the story, although good intended, doesn't hold up. Both protagonists don't have chemistry and remain the same till the end. I am pretty sure they will go their own ways at the end, no matter what. In conclusion, I am not convinced. This ending was a lot better than the one from "A Way Out" (another one of this studio's game). I can give them props for not ruining it like that. SPOILER: The Elephant murder scene and the main protagonists are what I greatly disliked. I am pretty sure there is a psychopath in the development team.

this game really brought me closer to my friend. after the first third, we both started to dislike it so much that our sheer hate was conjugating us together. gameplay-wise, very long for no reason. is it a puzzle game? because those are really easy, and the characters end up telling you what to do if you stop to think for two seconds. platformer? i mean, it was fun at times — like when you just let Cody and May slide. it was captivating due to the game’s nice environment design. anyway, since the gameplay changes every chapter but also, at its core, stays the same, it’s hard to call it skill-based, which leads to the question: why is it so long then? it’s like a series that needed to end after the first season. it was fun, but then they start to reuse the same concepts and just make it so artificially long that i was contemplating a rage quit — and i love playing monopoly, so that tells you volumes about how hellishly boring and long this game becomes. plot felt really May-centered. gameplay too. good thing you can switch up characters every time you enter the game. anyway, for the size and how heavily story-focused it seemed, we don’t really get to know much about those characters. we are basically stuck on the same topics. May works too much, and that’s why she doesn’t support Cody, who is frustrated with the lack of attention and the fact that his wife completely disregards his passions and him as a person. but honestly, we could’ve gotten so much more than that. it felt one-sided and two-dimensional, even though it seemed like the writers tried to make it deeper than that. also, as a child of divorced parents, i can say that it would’ve been a much stronger message if they decided to divorce but stayed in good relationship. imagine if the game took this approach, with an emphasis on how important it is to find balance and navigate such a difficult decision. i can also say with 99% guarantee that it would’ve hit home so much more for most children of divorced parents, and the story could’ve been much more bittersweet and beautiful. instead, it’s just the same romantic comedy all over again. the humor wasn’t bad, but it didn’t do much at the end when both of us just wanted it to end. the best part of the game was playing the chess mini-game. with that, i’m out.

Game play is extremely fun to play with a partner. Many differing styles of play and a variety of puzzles. The story though is not only extremely strange, but also extremely uncomfortable at times. I would have preferred a story that was much more kid friendly and less traumatizing in regards to what types of behaviors have to be done at least twice in the story. Because of the story itself, I can't recommend it. The game play is good though, so if you have a partner and don't care about story lines, it's a great choice for co-op.

Another great two-player co-op game with good characters and story from Hazelight. Like A Way Out, it's not super long, but it's a great game and is easily worth the price especially on a good sale. If I had one complaint, it was that the ending felt a little abrupt, but it's a small issue in an otherwise great game. Hazelight specializes in co-op games, and if that's your thing definitely support these guys and check them out.

just reached the chapter 4 by the time writing this, this game was by far the best coop game me and my gf ever played, and I might have gotten her into gaming.

It Takes Two isn’t just a game for me — it’s at the core of my relationship with my partner. We played it together for the first time early in our relationship, and honestly, it’s the best experience I could recommend to any couple who enjoys gaming. After playing this game, it was really hard for us to find another title to play together that could match all the beautiful memories and moments we shared while playing It Takes Two. On tough days — whether between us or just in life — sitting down to play it together would brighten the rest of our day. When we finished the game, we decided to replay it months later to relive those early days of our relationship. At that time, we were going through a rough patch, and watching the protagonists’ evolving relationship helped us learn and grow alongside them. This game is incredibly beautiful. It’s a memory I will never forget.

It Takes Two is a visually appealing split-screen co-op game mainly focusing on the team effort of the two players. The game offers both remote and online co-op as well as the so-called “Friend’s Pass”, which is great for those who may want to play with a friend who doesn’t intend on buying the game. One of the players gets to choose May while the other has to choose Cody- or vice versa. Both of the characters obtain different skills in each chapter but can both only progress by working together. This leads to a fine variety that stays similar at its core. The puzzles are not too complicated — rather too simple, which is, however, fitting for a light-hearted game. This makes the game quite beginner-friendly in my eyes. The game has great animations as well as fun cutscenes that can be skipped if needed. The boss fights at the end of each chapter are engaging and require both players to show off their teamwork once again. The fun minigames to discover, on the other hand, offer a contrast: both players will have to fight against the other. The writing of the story as well as the ending weren’t exactly my favorite. The story is rather shallow and underwhelming, and neither character goes through any proper character development. However, as the overall gameplay was engaging enough, I was somewhat able to ignore said aspects. Some scenes, such as the well-known elephant scene, may not be suitable for a younger audience and could potentially be disturbing to those. We both got bored at times and felt like we eventually just got forcibly dragged along, however, towards the ending, the game ended up being more enjoyable again, which gave me some of the sparks back. While this game is recommendable, I would suggest focusing on the actual gameplay instead of the story and not taking the story all too seriously.

I don't know how Rose didn't die of starvation in the process but cute game!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP Cutie, had to pause the game with my tears

I dont usually write reviews but this game deserves so much praise.I played it with my girlfriend and not only did it bring us together but we enjoyed every second of it. The game looks extremely nice and the story is amazing. A must play for any couples ( friends also but it's more fit for couples) HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Absolutely brilliant *actual* co-op game in which each character gains unique abilities and they need to work in tandem to overcome a large variety of beautifully designed levels while following the heartwarming narrative. No mechanic overstays its welcome and the game is surprisingly long for what we expected to be a snack sized little game.

one of the best co-op games .totally worth it!!!.its on sale right now ,i highly recommmend to buy it .its totally worth your money!!

Verily, a most splendid game indeed; be sure to enlist the aid of a companion who is both wise and capable enough to assist thee in navigating the perplexing puzzles.

This game is so friendly and is really worth a buy you can play with friends, lovers and siblings

This game drags on for too long and has no likeable characters, The best part of the game is the first mission and after that it just feels boring and like a repeat of the previous missions.

peak game, so fun and the soundtracks are bomb lalalalalala, amazingly freakalicious too... , def play it when you can <3

One of the best co-op games out there—hands down. It Takes Two is a brilliant mix of creative level design, fun mechanics, and a surprisingly heartfelt story. Every level brings something new, and it never gets boring. You’ll laugh, get challenged, and maybe even tear up a bit. It’s built entirely around two-player co-op (local or online), and it nails the experience. Perfect for couples, friends, or anyone looking to share a unique adventure. If you enjoy teamwork-based gameplay and great storytelling, don’t skip this one. 10/10 – A must-play for co-op fans.

One of the best Co-op focus game I have ever played , your experience may vary depends on the person you are playing with. I'm glad i was able to finish it with a really close friend of mine.

Truly an amazing game. It had stunning scenery, really engaging gameplay (although it can sometimes be a bit tedious), but overall it was really fun to play. The only two negative things I have to say about this game: (1) Rose's parents were extremely FOUL for the elephant incident, so much that it even made me feel like a terrible person doing what the game intends the player to do, and (2) I wish I could erase the book from this game.

After a certain scene in a certain magical house that made me feel certain emotions... (trying to be vague to not spoil, but the people who played the game probably knows what I mean). I realised truly that this is a good game filled with quite weird, but also great emotional scenes.

Twice I started a playthrough with a friend, twice it was abandoned by both friends. It really does take two.

Don't let anyone tell you this is only a game for couples, the game is so freaking fun regardless of if you play it with your spouse or bros. I didn't know I missed Little Big Planet before I played this game. 10/10, gonna 100% this shit soon.

Great for beginner players and veterans alike. A good balance of some timeless gameplay formulas mixed with a cute story that strikes a good balance.

This is one of the best co-op games I have ever played. It has great story, fun puzzles, amazing boss battles all which requires combine efforts of two players. Best game for husband and wife :D

With a strong emphasis on cooperation, "It Takes Two" is a great game to play with a partner or friend. It's a wild ride from start to finish, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.

It's a game that will keep you coming back for more, and you'll have a blast playing it.

Played this at 3am with the homie somehow turned into accidental couples therapy. Would 100% argue over a puzzle again.

A really amazing game!!! Love it so much, great game control, amazing art design, the story is also good, 10 out of 10!!! Hope the game gain more and more players.

After finishing this game with my girlfriend we were both shocked at just how much creativity went into it. It genuinely stresses me out to think about how much work went into making this game. It's an accomplishment in creative design.

The characters and worlds are beautifully crafted. Simply exploring is rewarding, particularly the later levels.

Goated co-op experience, perfect couple game. Plays great locally and remotely through steam and ea. We had some issues connecting remotely the first time, due to the friend's pass not working for whatever reason, but we got it working soon after, just needed re-installation. Touching story, even if the book (no spoilers) is extremely annoying lol. Gameplay is very easy (but so so satisfying and enjoyable) in general, except 2 or 3 spots were coordination between players is essential. The graphics are beautiful, the level design is absolutely genius and you always find yourself running all around the place trying to discover every little detail. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Very fun for experienced and, less than experienced players. Engaging and enjoyable. Certainly have patience with each other, play the mini games, enjoy the game!

I loved this game and playing with my friend was very fun, I loved the story and hope that I can find more games like this.

This game offers content on which it is assured that you are getting your money's worth

Very good. Finished it with my friend 11h of gameplay. totally recommend

This game is incredible. Words cannot describe how peak this game is. The graphics are out of this world, the gameplay is really fun, and it's hilarious to troll your friend. Me and my friend haven't finished the game yet, but we are in this pillow area (no spoilers) and it's amazing. Each area, you gain a new and different power from your friend, which relates to the area you are in. Overall, 10/10 game, top 3 of all time in my opinion.

Amazing game, 11/10. Probably the BEST multiplayer game I've ever played. I enjoyed playing this game with my boyfriend. It was an immersive experience exploring through the different worlds with him. The mini games are really fun, although I lost most of them lol. The levels are very fascinating with each tool going hand in hand with the other, arousing the idea of high cooperation. I admire the music as it fits in every world you're in. This game is decently long; I ended up with 10 hours of just normal completion. Considering going back to get the other missing achievements with my love

A Beautiful Co-Op Journey with Heart It Takes Two is more than just a fun co-op game—it's a heartfelt, wildly imaginative journey that’s best experienced with someone you care about. The gameplay is genuinely top-tier, constantly reinventing itself with new mechanics and mini-games that make every level feel fresh and exciting. Whether you're solving puzzles, platforming, or engaging in wild boss fights, it's impossible to be bored. But what makes It Takes Two truly special is the emotional core. Beneath the colorful chaos and quirky humor is a genuine and touching story about a couple on the brink of separation—and how their fractured relationship impacts their child. The game doesn't shy away from the hard parts of love and parenting, and it presents them in a way that feels honest rather than forced. It’s a reminder that even in fantasy, real-life struggles still matter. This is the kind of game that brings people together, not just through cooperative gameplay, but through shared laughs, challenges, and even a few emotional moments. It’s thoughtful, creative, and just plain fun. A must-play for anyone with a friend, a partner, or a desire to play something truly meaningful.

“It Takes Two... Unless One of You Isn’t a Gamer” If you’ve ever thought, “Hey, let me play a fun co-op game with my wife. That’ll be cute!” — let me stop you right there. Don’t. Do. It. Unless your partner is a hardcore gamer, or at least knows how to move a camera and jump at the same time, It Takes Two is not the casual relationship-building activity you think it is. What starts off as a charming, Pixar-like adventure quickly turns into a full-blown gamer Olympics, with tight platforming, timed puzzles, boss fights, and mechanics that would stress out even seasoned players. Within an hour, it was less “aww” and more “No, babe, you need to swing now — NOW! WHY DID YOU JUMP?!” Eventually, you’ll realize you're basically playing solo with an emotionally supportive spectator. And then? The game makes it impossible to proceed without actual cooperation. So unless you're ready to play two controllers at once like a maniac, you're stuck. The game itself is brilliant — no doubt. It’s creative, polished, and filled with variety. But it’s also brutal if you’re not both gamers. So yeah, lesson learned.

great game me and my wife played through it and it was very baller very baller, towrds the end it felt kinda draged out but i would still give it 10/10

TLDR: Fun, cute game with infuriating controls. Graphics: Generally solid cartoon-like graphics. Can be hard to discern your characters from the background at times and some modes make it near impossible to tell characters apart. Storyline: It's cute... unless you're in the castle segment. Price: Get it on sale for $10. Difficulty: Easy as long as controls work properly. AI: None Cutscenes: They're generally very nice, but can drag on way too long. Fun: The game is incredibly fun, but the controls are severely flawed and infuriating at times. Sounds/Music: Not bad, not memorable. Launcher: None Achievements: Find the hidden areas Replayability: Not much reason to replay it. Nothing really to go back for. Controls: They're solid for the most part, until they're randomly not? Certain segments like swimming and flying are very undercooked and controller gameplay can be lacking in general. Performance: No issues Modding: None (?) Selling Out: None Similar Games: - Unraveled 2 - Human Fall Flat Bugs: - Clipping through floors

very fun and good story !! graphics and design were unexpectedly great :))

Absolute gem of a game! Perfect to play with your significant other!!!

I haven't finished playing the game with my girlfriend but I can already vouch that this is a great game. It's the correct level of challenging to make the game fun, already have shared lots of laughs with only three hours of game time on it. We laugh when one of us just can't make that one jump and cheer each other on. There is lots of teamwork and times where you have to try again and I think that's part of the charm. If you are looking for an engaging bonding experience look no further.
